Hello,
We have loved the last few days Nordic Walking with sunshine and blue skies. No rain!
Looking after your blood pressure
A subject that came up recently in class was blood pressure and what is a healthy range. Normal blood pressure is defined as less than 120/80 mmHg but higher than 90/60mmHg. High blood pressure (also known as Hypertension) doesn’t often have symptoms but has serious consequences if untreated. See useful NHS guide below:
High blood pressure (hypertension) – NHS (www.nhs.uk)
There are things we can do to look after our blood pressure and help reduce it and here is a useful guide:
